Not sure if the community is interested in deal posts and digital implementations so why not try both?

The Steam Summer Sale is on and it includes a bunch of digital boardgame implementations. Unfortunately the "boardgame" and "tabletop" user tags are a bit polluted so have to wade through the noise. Here are some standouts I see (USD prices), please add yours in the comments.

  • Aeon's End - $1.94 ~~$14.99~~
  • One Deck Dungeon $0.99 ~~9.99~~
  • Scythe - $7.99 ~~$17.99~~
  • Sentinels of the Multiverse $0.99 ~~9.99~~
  • Spirit Island $12.48 ~~24.99~~ (all time low I believe)
  • Tabletop Simulator - $9.99 ~~$19.99~~
  • Wingspan $9.99 ~~19.99~~

Note that some publishers do matching sales on mobile so for example One Deck Dungeon is on sale on Android too.

Edit: relevant BGG forum post with some more

One of the biggest pitfalls of Spirit Island is that the rulebook is a terrible teaching tool. The app is a significant improvement on that giving you a pretty indepth tutorial.

But if you can learn it in person or via TTS that's probably ideal.
